Pros

There are still some great people who haven't been laid off or left for greener pastures yet. If you're on team made up of these people, you'll be okay. Work life balance is good if you get a reasonable manager. Line-level engineering managers are pretty consistently nice humans who care about their direct reports (though a ton of them just left the company, so who knows).

Cons

The annual layoff is a real thing. Leadership is always changing direction. Middle to upper management and executive leadership don't value employees or have any interest in retaining talent and institutional knowledge. Compensation, while not the worst, could be better. There's a bitter rivalry between the legacy Comscore and legacy Rentrak portions of the organization. Company is rife with poor performers and incompetent employees. I would even go as far as to say there's a culture that breeds or encourages these characteristics. A combination of engineers/leads/managers leaving and poor/missing documentation results in a difficult situation for onboarding any new employees.

Pros

1. So-called un-limited time-off but never taken into consideration it all depends on how badly they need you, so if you are in a position critical then you have some good time off. 2. They "MIGHT" help you when you need emotional support, but this is not permanent changes with policy. 3. Summer hours availability.

Cons

1. Doesn't match industry level compensation. 2. Communication from the higher ups are always confusing and no clear goals provided. If there is something wrong with the communication between the higher ups you are always responsible even for that. 3. No stock options as they want the flexibility to fire you at anytime. 4. No severance provided until they know you can sue them back. 5. Look out for their quarterly meetings, if they are not doing good in Revenue, then expect layoffs within next few weeks. 6. They always tend to put the blame on lower level employees, when there is a escalation even when its not your fault. Prepare for getting fired if you are especially under a senior who has been with comscore for long + your team have good resource bandwidth.
